1881.] OF AMURLAND, NORTH CHINA, AND JAPAN. 903 



Danais chrysippus, Linn. Mus. Ulr. p. 263 (1764). 



Found in Cliina and Japan, but not, as far as I know, in Amur- 

 land. 



Banais limniace is found at Foocliow, and may extend further 

 north ; but I have seen no specimens from Shanghai or Ningpo. 



Thaumantis howqxja, Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1851, p. 1/4. 



Btichophthalma Jiowqua, Fold. Wien. eat. Mon. vi.'p. 2/ (1862). 



This splendid species is found at Slianghai and Ningpo, and also 

 in Formosa. It is the only representative of the Morphidsfj occurring 

 within my limits, though Clerome eumceus occurs in South China. 



Debis europa, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 500 (1775). 



Occurs at Kiukiang {Mai-ies), and possibly elsewhere. A spe- 

 cimen in the Hewitson collection from Amoy resembles the variety 

 nilgherriensis, Guer. 



Melanitis leda, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. p. 77 ■i (1767). 



Found in Nikko, Japan, by Maries, and in Formosa; but I have 

 seen no specimens from Central or North China. 



Melanargia (Arge) halimede, Men. Schrenk's Reise, p. 37j 

 t. iii. figs. 6, 7. 



Var. meridionalis, Feld. Wien, ent. Mon. vi. p. 29 (1862). 



The type form of this distinct species is found commonly at 

 Askold and elsewhere in Amurlaud. It occurs also at Moupin in 

 East Tibet, according to Oberthiir, in a paler form. At Shanghai 

 aud Ningpo is found the curious melanism described by Felder as 

 M. meridionalis, four specimens of which, in Fryer's collection, 

 though varying in the intensity of their blackness, are all remarkably 

 different from the nortliern form. 



Mycalesis gotama, Moore, Cat. Lep. E.I. C. i. p. 232(1857). 



Sadarga gotama, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1880, p. 158. 



Found in Japan and China, where it seems common at Shanghai. 

 Specimens from Silhet in the British Museum, marked " ostrea, 

 Westw.," agree nearly with this, but are rather larger. 



M. PERDiccAS, Hew. Ex. Butt. iii. Mi/c. t. iii. fig. 15 (1862). 



Gareris perdiceas, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1880, p. 157. 



1 M. sangaica, Butl. Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, xix. p. 95. 



Martanda sangaica, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1880, p. 169. 



This species is distinguished from the last by the band on under- 

 side of wings having a blue-grey instead of a yellowish tinge. 



It seems common at Shanghai and in Japan. 



Specimens in the British Museum from Nankow Pass, between 

 China and Mongolia, seem to belong to this species ; and I am 

 doubtful as to separating M. sangaica, the type of which from 

 Shanghai I have seen. This species, however, is considered distinct,
